Something Wicked by Amanda Southern

Hi Everyone
Not long now and Halloween will be here and then gone again
for another year, so I make no apologies for another Halloween make before I
have to pack everything away.
Here’s What I Did:
The
background I used was a Gelli print from my stash. From that I die cut using 2
out of the 3 dies from Seth Apters Drip Dry set, I then cut them again in black
card. I then placed the background on my Stamping Platform and stamped the
witch’s head.
Leaving the background on the platform I coloured the witch
directly onto the Gelli print using first Fresco Finish paints and then
coloured pencils, once I had finished colouring it I then re stamped the image
over the colouring.
Once
removed from the Stamping Platform I then toned down the colours using black Distress ink and a blending tool. Next I inserted the die cuts placing the
black die cuts into the negative die cut space in the background, I then
stamped the sentiment.
I then had the bright idea to trickle blood (slightly
watered down red paint) down the card, I think this might have been one step
too far and I’m not sure I should have added it!! All was then mounted onto
black card and then a card blank.
Here’s What I Used:
Gelli
print from my stash
Die Cutting Machine
Card
Blank
Until next week

Love that Gelli print background so grungy. Those die cut frames frame the witch image perfectly. The addition of the blood red drips is really effective. Perfect for the season & I love it..!!

A very spookilicious card Amanda. Gorgeous background and love the dripping elements which go so well with the witch and text.
